    What do you mean I cannot cover the kitchen window?

    Of course you can get a blind £20 tops probably a lot less

    If you take this to the council they will laugh at you for being silly

    Now is someone was always shining a high powered torch or a lazer pen fair enough you may have a complaint but not reflection of sunshine from a conservatory

    I cannot move the TV as it is fixed to the wall and as I do not have a blind or curtain on the kitchen window I cannot cover the kitchen window.

    Tell them to come and build a [STRIKE]conservatory[/STRIKE] industrial sized greenhouse opposite my house.

    Mind you they'd have to bring the sunshine with them.

    If you cannot afford to put a blind up, simply hang a sheet over the door that the light is shining through. You cannot seriously expect them to cover the conservatory so you can watch TV?

    I might be going to replace my heating and windows next year and I am sure I will end up with less than £16,000 in savings, I wonder if I should re-apply for council tax benefit :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    No problems in the finance department
